<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>Dee Hock, Founder and CEO
Emeritus of VISA International and author of The Birth of The Chaordic Age,
often predicts that it takes two years to complete a chaordic restructuring. The
Girl Scouts - Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, Inc. pulled it off in eight
months! <SPAN class=580514523-01052002> </SPAN>"Artifacts of Hope - The
Girl Scouts Go Chaordic" was written in February. <SPAN
class=580514523-01052002> </SPAN>Just two months later, after working on all
levels within the organization, keeping the process open to the 9,000 adults
that deliver services to girls, the "Structure Group" completed its new design
and it was just ratified by the Delegates and Board of Directors at their Annual
Meeting last Saturday!</FONT></DIV>
